Offered here as a starter plug, it establishes quickly and is a rewarding choice for home gardens, edible landscapes, and container growing. The plant produces slender leaves and small purple trumpet-shaped flowers through the season, followed by elongated red berries that ripen in late summer to early fall.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the garden, goji berry works well as a fruiting hedge, border shrub, or patio container specimen, and its berries are commonly enjoyed fresh, dried, or cooked into sauces, teas, and baked goods. Plants are self-fertile but typically yield more heavily when two or more are grown together. Regular pruning encourages stronger branching and easier harvest, and the plant tolerates a range of conditions once established.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Lycium barbarum\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Goji Berry\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Perennial shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright to arching, woody, spreading\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, sandy to loamy\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 2 to 3 years from planting\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 3 to 5 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Self-fertile; produces best fruit set with cross-pollination from a second plant\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664688906376,"sku":"BTR-301","price":73.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_cd61f299-67dd-467f-8864-0023ccb80977.png?v=1791897600","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-live-plant-goji-berry-lycium-barbarum-starter-plug","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
